Hawks news: Miles Plumlee charged for marijuana possession

Update: The original reporting was incorrect as Miles Plumlee was only charged and not arrested.

New Atlanta Hawks center Miles Plumlee was charged for possession of marijuana late in August, according to longtime journalist Peter Vecsey. The 6-foot-11 big man was charged with possession of the drug and consequently released on $100 bail.

He could face potential discipline from the Hawks organization and/or the league, depending on the results of his case.

The 29-year-old is still owed $37.5 million over the next three years, while his younger brother Mason is bound to make $4.6 million from the Denver Nuggets this upcoming season before becoming a restricted free agent this next offseason.
